array VS apltail

I should have mentioned somewhere, I disabled threading for OpenBLAS, so it is comparing one thread to one thread. Parallelism would be easy to add, but I tend to want the thread parallelism outside code like this anyways.

As for the inner loop not being well optimized... the disassembly looks like the same basic thing as OpenBLAS. There's disassembly in the comments of that file to show what code it generates, I'd love to know what you think is lacking! The only difference between the one I linked and this is prefetching and outer loop ordering: https://github.com/dsharlet/array/blob/master/examples/linea...

If you are looking for something like this in C++, here's my attempt at implementing it: https://github.com/dsharlet/array#einstein-reductions

It doesn't do any automatic optimization of the loops like some of the projects linked in this thread, but, it provides all the tools needed for humans to express the code in a way that a good compiler can turn it into really good code.

There's also apltail, of course, but that is disappointingly static, and iirc slower than co-dfns.
